Instead of requiring an IB queue pair for communication between two nodes, it may instead tunnel traffic over a TCP connection. This makes RDS usable by people without IB hardware, or in a VM. In addition, this patchset modularizes RDS into an rds core module, an rds_rdma module (for Infiniband and iWARP) and rds_tcp module. RDS itself no longer has a dependency on IB (the rds_rdma module does). This code has been tested and verified to work and perform acceptably, but has not yet had intensive performance analysis. Thanks -- Regards -- Andy
